The Sage of Absolute Indifference

I was Jie Yuan, the Sword God who stood at the pinnacle of existence. My reward? A divine backstabbing by my so-called allies. Now, I'm stuck in the body of Bai An, the talentless, sickly young master of a declining house, and frankly, I'm thrilled. No talent means no responsibilities. I can finally sleep in, enjoy tea, and ignore the petty squabbles of mortals. My perfect retirement plan is ruined, however, when my past-life knowledge makes solving 'impossible' problems as easy as breathing. I cure an incurable poison on a whim, accidentally refine a legendary pill while trying to brew soup, and casually point out flaws in techniques that confound grandmasters. Suddenly, this lazy good-for-nothing is being hailed as a hidden dragon, a peerless genius. Fanatical followers, ambitious rivals, and dangerous secrets are all piling up at my door, demanding my attention. They all think I'm aiming for the heavens again, but they don't realize the truth: ascension is a trap, a celestial prison designed by the very gods who killed me. How can I convince the world to leave me alone when every lazy shortcut I take looks like an act of profound enlightenment?
